Nutloose,
Tell Brian:
Never was on 101 myself, but was with them at Binbrook around Christmas '49 (Wg. Cdr. Hamish Mahaddie commanding) a real gent, if ever there was ! They had Lincolns.
And my Auxiliary CO at Thornaby '51-'54 (Wg. Cdr. David Brown DSO [you don't see many AGs with
that] was at Ludford Magna towards the end of the war). Might have been on 101 - he would probably have been a Sqn.Ldr. , the Gunnery Leader then.
...Well after describing this to me he looked at me and said , " I'm not up to all this internet stuff...
Neither was I. So get hold of the old fella and give him a good talking-to. Round up his clan; they can club together, buy him a simple laptop for last Christmas and show him how to use it. Tell him to get stuck-in, if I can do it, anyone can (and any ten year old does). The water's fine ! Show him a bit of our Thread as bait - that's how they caught me !
Then he can join PPRuNe, and be welcome in this our virtual crewroom, where he will be among friends.
Good luck with your search, Danny.
